A police report released July 16 offers new insight into the sudden death of Dan Rivera, the longtime paranormal investigator who died while touring with the allegedly haunted Annabelle doll.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, Rivera was discovered deceased on July 13 in his hotel room in Gettysburg by staff members.
“Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene,” the official report stated.
Authorities confirmed that no evidence of foul play was found, and that Rivera’s cause of death remains undetermined pending autopsy results.
The 54-year-old had been on the road with the New England Society of Psychic Research (NESPR), co-founded by famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Rivera had been a key figure in NESPR for over a decade and frequently accompanied Lorraine Warren prior to her passing in 2019.
In a statement, NESPR mourned the loss of a “deeply compassionate, loyal and dedicated friend.” While they continue to grieve, the group plans to go ahead with their “Devils On The Run” tour, which includes appearances by the Annabelle doll and is scheduled to conclude in Maine this September.
Rivera’s death remains under investigation.
